Preparing for A level Biology: what can I do in the summer

What can you best do over the summer to help transition to A level Biology? (It's probably not what you're thinking.)

Key Concept: Averages, Range, and Standard Deviation, with A level Biology Past-Paper Questions
Key Concept: Averages, Range, and Standard Deviation, with A level Biology Past-Paper Questions

You need to know some maths for A level Biology. This includes knowing how to interpret averages (mean, median and mode), ranges, and standard deviations to work out whether an experiment can be said to have shown an effect or not. Master this early on and it will not help you with exam questions, but also make it easier for you to learn the bits of the course that are explained using these statistical methods.

Key Concept: Surface Area to Volume ratio (SA:V)
Key Concept: Surface Area to Volume ratio (SA:V)

Some concepts turn up again and again in A-level biology. Taking a little time to ensure you really understand these key concepts from the start can save a lot of effort overall.

Surface area to volume ratio (SA:V) is vital for understanding a wide range of topics including transport across cell membranes, gas exchange, digestion, heat exchange, and mass transport. SA:V explains why the inner membrane of a mitochondrion is folded, why elephants have big ears, and why jellyfish don’t need blood vessels.
